Foreign Legal Collegium

Inyurkollegiya or Injurkollegija (Russian: Инюрколлегия, Иностранная юридическая коллегия, Foreign Legal Collegium) was a Soviet legal aid organisation that specialized in international law and was established in 1937.

The organization provided legal aid for Soviet citizens and organisations in foreign civil cases. The Soviet side abroad was represented via hired foreign lawyers who had the right to represent foreigners in their states.

It also represented foreign citizens and organisations in civil cases in the Soviet Union.

In addition to legal aid, Inyurkollegiya provided assistance in obtaining various kinds of information, searching of documents and consulting in Soviet and foreign laws.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or legal:

    Man-in-seed, in seed-at-zero,
    From the star-flanked fields of space,
    Thunders on the foreign town
    With a sand-bagged garrison....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated. This, and this alone, is why lawbreakers ought to be punished: to authenticate as good, and to encourage as useful, law-abiding behavior. The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
